Sure, there might not be restrictions on when you can hop anymore, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the process is easy. In fact, when it comes to using buses to park hop in Disney World, there are some important details you need to know!
Disney World has recently rolled out some HUGE changes. Not only is the Disney Dining Plan back, but Park Pass Reservations are no longer required for most Disney World guests. On top of that, Park Hopping rules have changed once again and park hopping is back to the way it was pre COVID.
It’s a day to celebrate!
We know that this is a lot to digest and the last thing you want to be worried about on your trip is if you know all the rules. So we are here to help!

Magic Kingdom
Disney World is starting 2024 off with a bang! While the resort is getting plenty of new things in 2024, we’re super excited about the return of older programs and perks after long hiatuses. From the return of hotel perks to the return of the Disney Dining Plan, Disney World is bringing back a lot of pre-pandemic positives in 2024. The Parks are going to look even more normal starting TODAY, thanks to the complete overhaul of the park pass system. [Read more…]
Park hopping in Disney World might not be the best option for everyone!

When planning a Disney World vacation, guests have the option to purchase a Park Hopper add-on to their theme park tickets, which allows them to visit multiple parks on the same day. But just because it’s an “upgrade” doesn’t mean it will be the best fit for every guest! Here are some reasons you might NOT want to splurge on a Park Hopper upgrade for your next Disney World trip.
Planning a Disney World trip can be stressful! There’s a lot that goes into vacationing in the Most Magical Place on Earth, and you’ll need to be able to navigate the park pass system, Disney Genie and Genie+, as well as book dining reservations for any table service restaurants you want to experience.

The first (and arguably most important) thing you’ll want to do is make your park reservations. Park reservations (or park passes) are required for every day of your trip, and are subject to availability so they may sell out. Here’s what you can do when that happens.
If you’re heading to Disney World in 2021, you might want to switch up some of your tried-and-true vacation planning strategies.

If you’re a longtime Disney World vacationer — or if you’ve been studying up for years — you might think you have all of your strategies in the bag. But there have been some BIG changes recently that could impact your 2021 trip! Here’s how to do Disney World differently this year.
It’s officially 2021, which means park hopping is BACK at Disney World!

We tried it out on New Year’s Day and learned a lot about the new process. We found out that you can park hop to as many parks as you want (if not at capacity), how transportation works, and more! But today, we’re here to talk about the BEST and WORST parts about park hopping!
Many Disney fans are making their first return trip to Disney World since the pandemic-related closures in 2020. If this describes you, then you are going to find many things changed in Disney World, and one thing that’s important to know for your trip planning is that Park Hopping works differently today!
Welcome to Disney World
When Disney World first re-opened in 2020, Park Hopping was suspended. The option to “hop” between Disney World parks returned in 2021, with a few modifications. We’ve been Park Hopping ever since, and we have the answers to ALL your questions!
Just over a month ago, Disney announced that Park Hopping would be coming back to Walt Disney World at the start of 2021 in a modified way.

The new system has quite a few rules and requirements different than the old way of Park Hopping you may be familiar with, one being that the ability to Park Hop is not guaranteed — instead, it’s entirely based on park availability (a.k.a. you might NOT get to hop if the parks are full). But, getting a ticket with the Park Hopper option is more expensive than a regular 1-day, 1-park pass. Will that additional cost be worth it for you under the modified system? Here are our thoughts.
